Caco Nero

Venice


On weekdays this hip and surprisingly spacious cafe keeps the university crowd watered and fed, with espresso served in dainty china, homemade cake, quiche, panini, cooked lunches and afternoon spritzes. On Saturdays, the focus is brunch, including French toast, bagels, and even scrambled eggs and bacon. The vibe is friendly and young, and there's always good music.
